Parent: The Hill School is aptly named the family boarding school for good reason. From our first tour, it was clear to us that Hill is more than just a top-notch education. We have two daughters at Hill and could not be more pleased with the faculty, education, after-school activities and warm environment. Hill has been a leader in handling the COVID protocol at boarding schools since the beginning of the pandemic. We highly recommend touring Hill if your child is interested in boarding school...Read 119 Reviews

Senior: I have attended The Perkiomen School since 6th grade. Because of the small class sizes and overall small school size, I was able to develop friendships that I expect to have forever. I was a shy, reserved kid and looking back, appreciate the way the teachers were able to engage us in the discussions. In most of my classes, the desks are arranged in a circle to promote discussion and interaction among students. I also appreciate the ability to play on a sports team, despite your skill level. As an average athlete, I likely would not have been able to participate in any varsity sport in my public high school. Now as a senior at Perk looking back, my attendance has fostered my independence, confidence, social skills and has definitely prepared me for the next step....College!...Read 62 Reviews

Parent: The choice of how & where to school children is one of the major decisions parents must make for their children. As parents of four children, this was a growing concern as our first child was reaching school age. While there were many options available that we explored, we are continually confident that Coventry Christian Schools was the best option for our family. With children now in the secondary and elementary levels, we remain grateful for this school community. Our top three reasons are: strong educational value(classical school model), family friendly community, and a safe environment on multiple levels. Such a blessing to have this major decision secure, having CCS as an wonderful aid in our primary role to parent our children. Lastly, each of children love going to this school! :)...Read 26 Reviews

Senior: I loved my experience at PJP and it’s been a huge blessing in my life to go there! The opportunities they give their students have impacted my life greatly. I am involved in musical theater, show choir, and band at PJP. In these programs I’ve been able to make so many friendships and I’ve learned so much about the craft that I love. School used to be something I dreaded and once I went to PJP I learned to love school and I really get excited about learning and seeing everyone each day. Pope John Paul’s response to covid was to have us go to school in a hybrid form. I am so grateful for the opportunity to get to go to school safely during these times. Pope John Paul the Second High School has been an amazing experience so far and although I am sad to leave, I am very excited to move onto college and further my studies in music and in therapy...Read 111 Reviews

Parent: Pine Forge Academy is a great school. I would encourage everyone who knows the value of an Adventist Christian Education to have their child or children enrolled there. The teachers are warm, kind, and very attentive to the population being served. One of the main things I admire as a mother, whenever I reached out to Leadership with a concern they always return phone calls or emails promptly.I have seen my son matured so much enrolling as a Freshman at PFA, now in his Junior Year.

Parent: They care about their students. They will do everything they can to accommodate students needs. This is our first year in the district and I am already seeing a drastic change in my children. They have had IEP's in other schools and barely made any progress. My daughter has already moved up 1 grade level (almost 2) in reading since the beginning of the school year! That is a huge improvement considering she stayed the same in the 3 years she was at her previous school...Read 2 Reviews

Parent: We LOVE St. Peter's. Our children started in kindergarten and are now in the Upper School. The curriculum is challenging but engaging, the faculty is engaged and so positive, the administration is responsive and not only willing to have conversations about any problems with the school, but proactive in finding solutions. The families are now really so many of our best friends and our kids are being prepared for an ever changing world. It's definitely a small school, but we feel that gives our kids such confidence as they get in the upper grades - they are the big kids, looked up to by the younger ones, sort of avoiding all the unnecessary pressures of a typical "middle school" at a time when they are so vulnerable emotionally. If we could go back in time we would send them here all over again!...Read 8 Reviews
